Such a beautiful brunch location, staff are absolutely fantastic, it was 5 stars with the aesthetics, never mind the food and the stuff really were a treat! They topped the experience off even more. Thanks for such a lovely experience, I will definitely be turning again at some point x

Such a gem. Loved it. Food was delicious. A good place for brunch, afternoon tea or evening meal. The staff is friendly and helpful. They offer quite a few vegetarian options as well and are flexible if you want vegetarian options for the afternoon tea. Child friendly and dog friendly. Really worth a visit.

Beautiful little hidden gem in Covent garden. We went for brunch and made a reservation which I recommend doing as it wasn’t busy when we got there but got busier whilst we were there. Lovely service and food was delicious and beautifully presented! Average pricing for brunch, I’ll be back to try the afternoon tea. Interior is cosy and so beautifully decorated inside.

This place and dishes that it serves both are aesthetically beautiful that’s why making it really instagram popular and very busy. Because of its popularity one understands the time frame of 1 hour and not holding table booking beyond 10 minutes. Well we got 15 minutes late due to train delays & thankfully we didn’t lose our booking (though we were mentally prepared after reading previous reviews) We were being served by Maria & she was friendly, courteous and served us well. She was handling constant visitors with lot of patience and was very welcoming & cheerful throughout. Place is little crammed but once seated you don’t mind & frankly one can easily finish brunch in 1 hour with no rush, so no complaints. In Vegetarian brunch we total have 6 options in menu- of those we ordered 4. We had ordered Grilled Halloumi, Hot Honey Burrata, Banana bread toast & Tiramisu french toast. We find everything decently good. Prices are little higher for dishes and I would love to have more savoury vegetarian options for brunch so we can visit again & again.

This is one of the few places in London where the food tastes as good as it looks! Innovative dishes with a unique taste! We had a lovely experience and all of the restaurant staff were super kind and the service was exceptional. The only things I wish they’d look into is 1. The duration of each booking, as each reservation is only valid for 1 hour and a little more time there would allow guests to enjoy the vibe of the cafe. 2. Certain dishes which could be served at lunch were only available after 5 PM for dinner which we would have loved to try! Nevertheless, it was a great experience and I will surely be back soon!

Lovely reataurant with an amazing decor, although its quite small and the toilets are next to the kitchen. Food was amazing and the service was very forthcoming and super friendly!

This lovely place is located on Tavistock Street near Covent Garden, just about a 10 mins walk from the Underground station. The place's decor is beautiful, filled with flowers and plants, creating a lovely and relaxing atmosphere. The seating is quite ample, making it a comfortable spot to enjoy a drink. We ordered a Blue Matcha, BonBon Coffee, and Tiramisu. The quality of the food and drinks was impressive, especially the Tiramisu, which I highly recommend. I’m looking forward to coming back and trying some of the other items on the menu.

We had a lovely brunch here. I would recommend to book as the place is quite cozy. The service is polite and the food was good. We tried the Lobster Bao, the Truffle fries, the KFC squid (delicious) and the Tiramisu Pain Perdue and everything was nice. They propose also a wide selection of coffees but we did not try any on this occasion. Would definitely recommend!
